”Military advisor!” Why are you here, you can't go in, it's Xiang Shaolong, he was the one who took the silver … ” Xiao Letian did not bother to care about him, and just waved her hand for the soldiers behind him to untie the ropes.
The further they walked, the more shocked Xiao Letian became. He discovered that Xiang Shaolong was simply an expert in wild battles. The soldiers that Xiao Hexin, Wang Huaiyuan and the others brought over were practically all taken care of by these traps.
Some were knocked out on the ground, some were hanging upside down in midair by tree vines, some were tied to tree trunks, and there were even some who had their legs sprained from the simple fall of a horse pit … It was only when he finally saw the small river deep within the forest that he finally saw Xiang Shaolong himself.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong had already lit a bonfire, and the two people tied up beside the bonfire was Xiao Hexin and Wang Huaiyuan, while Xiang Shaolong was fully focused on forking at the fish swimming in the river.
”Ai …” Master Xiao, a few more forks will be enough for us to roast. ”Don't look at how thin the fish is in the beginning of spring, but the taste is the best. After eating it and gaining strength …” While he was speaking, Xiang Shaolong did not even turn back, as if he did not know that he was surrounded by 40 to 50 strong men.
Xiao Letian dismounted and walked over to the bonfire. He sat down on top of the silver chest and casually picked up Xiang Shaolong's treasured blade, a cold light flashed and the sharp blade appeared in front of Xiao Letian, ”Oh, good blade! ”If even an ignorant person like me can tell that it's good, then it must be a good blade …” After he finished speaking, he used his blade to cut the ropes on Xiao Hexin's and Wang Huaiyuan's bodies.
The atmosphere was a little awkward right now. All of Xiang Shaolong's people had already been released, and even his weapons were already in Xiao Letian's hands. Right now, the only weapon that he could be considered a decent weapon was the sharp wooden stick in his hand.
Xiao Letian waved his hand, his men did not stop him this time, and all of them retreated ten steps back before forming a huge circle as they stared at Xiang Shaolong.
”Alright, these few fish are enough for us to have a taste …” With that, Xiang Shaolong sat on top of another silver chest and started to pack up the fresh fish.
”I am convinced. I never thought that Mr. Xiao would actually collude with bandits and make Silver Coins, even though she has more guts than the heavens. The white silver ocean is flowing into your pocket like seawater. Although I am an amateur, I know that a business that can get the Mr. Xiao's attention is a huge business deal. I wonder how much can I earn from this trade? ”
Xiao Letian was like a child playing with the treasured blade that was passed down in the Xiang Shaolong family. He didn't even think about it, ”That was simply an unprofitable business, collecting the scattered silver taels from the citizens is equivalent to 30% of the profit. Give me 10,000 gold taels, and I will definitely return you 13,000 silver taels …”
”What's wrong? Dragon Lord is interested... ”That's easy. Collect some scattered silver for me. When the time comes, we'll split the profits, even if it's you and me …”
After saying that, Xiang Shaolong's expression suddenly became lonely, ”The Mr. Xiao is rich, but my family is not. My ancestors operated the Xiang Jia Village for three generations, but in the end, the Tarantula was burned into a wasteland and I was even charged with being a bandit … It's really hard to explain the different situations and situations in one's life! ”
Xiao Letian laughed when he heard that, ”Haha, how can Dragon Lord not watch? You should have thought of it when you took the deal that killed me. If you kill me, Taibai Top's brothers will definitely slaughter your Xiang Jia Village to avenge me. You didn't kill me, but in the end, in order to keep your mouth shut, your employer also wanted to kill you.
Xiang Shaolong laughed bitterly and said, ”That's right, this business is too unlucky. No matter if it succeeds or not, my Xiang Family will be in trouble. ”How can a little green woodsman be a match for you guys …”
”However, I still have to thank you. If it weren't for Master Xiao's righteous action to inform us in advance, our Xiang Jia Village would really be annihilated. To be able to escape with his life, that would be the luckiest thing that could happen …”
Xiao Letian had never stopped his investigation of Xiang Shaolong's information. He knew that everyone in the Xiang Jia Village had safely moved to the other side of the entrance. With Dragon Lord's connections, hiding a few hundred people was not a problem. But Xiang Shaolong himself had gone missing on Xiao Letian's information network, the Chun Sanshiniang did all they could to not be able to find him, they never expected that the Dragon Lord would actually be hiding in the Beijing Belt.
”What is Dragon Lord planning to do? I will tell you the truth, when firearms become more powerful, it will be harder and harder for a martial arts expert like you to survive. Xiao Letian advised sincerely.
”Oh? Master Xiao, do you have any ingenious methods to guide me? ” Xiang Shaolong inserted the washed fish on both sides of the fire and asked without raising his head.
From today on, I will hire you as my personal bodyguard. With a monthly salary of 1000 yuan, I will work for a full ten years, then I will reward you with a manor with 500 mu of land, then another ten years, then I will reward you with a manor with 1000 mu of land, then another ten years … ”Oh forget it, you should retire after thirty years …”
”Alright, I'll be a bit more magnanimous. You have protected me for 30 years, so not only will I raise your wages every year, I'll also give you a two-thousand-acre manor. How about it?”
Xiang Shaolong never thought that Xiao Letian would actually be so generous. Even the experienced and knowledgeable Dragon Lord was a little stunned, ”Are you trying to trick me with the grass on the side of the mouth?”
”Look at what you're saying, what I'm giving you is definitely a watering ground on the plain. Is that enough?”
”No, it's not enough …” Xiang Shaolong suddenly stood up, scaring the surrounding soldiers, who drew their blades to fight, but Xiao Letian waved his hand to stop them.
”If Dragon Lord has any conditions, please speak …”
